Crackle Inc., 7.7 mb, FREE
(iPhone, iPod Touch versions available)
Hundreds of movies, thousands of TV episodes, all free! Crackle is probably Sony's answer to the video streaming content war. Through this simple app, users may steam full movies and television shows onto the iPad. Unlike Hulu and Netflix, there are no subscription costs. However, the ads and commercial breaks do happen, which is fair for the nice selection.
Most of its content are from the years gone by with some occasional surprises. Personal favorites of mine include Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon (Sho'nuff!), the complete Married with Children, the entire Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon. Recent additions that made me smile include Ghostbusters II, Black Gunn (classic blaxploitation), The Defendor (dark superhero movie starring Woody Harrelson).
There are some need for improvements upon its frustrating search feature and some occasional crashing. But otherwise, worth having on your iPad for some quick, fun video entertainment.
